I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 222

“What… what do you mean?” Deirdre stared blankly at her husband.

“Grace is your daughter, Clark James’s granddaughter.

When Clark was still in good health what kind of state did you think the James family was in? Although the James family could not compare to the Shaw family, within the whole of City S, the James family had a great reputation in this circle to the extent that they were able to get away with many things.”

Jafar recalled this, although he wasn’t willing to admit that he was not as capable as Clark.

However, it was true that when Clark was still in good health the James’s family at that time was both grand and boundless capable of many things.

Deidre stared dumbfounded, “I don’t understand.”

What was her husband saying about Clark?

“What does Clark have anything to do with this matter?”

She actually had understood what he said, however inside she was a mess and was not willing to accept this.

Jafar sneered,

“What kind of person do you think Clark was? Payne was raised by you and me; however Grace was brought up personally by him. After spending such a long time together, do you really think that Clark was not able to tell if she really was his own granddaughter?”

“I don’t understand, I don’t understand; stop talking I don’t want to listen anymore!” Deirdre’s face was pale as she tried to cover her ears.

“If that girl is not his real granddaughter then do you really think Clark would give an outsider that much property, would spend so much time and effort to raise someone who is not of his own blood?”

A thunder struck in her ears and it was as if she was hit by lightning when the colour of her face turned a deathly pale.

She didn’t want to listen, didn’t want to believe however she was unable to bear not listening or believing at the same time.

“If this is all really true then I, I…” Then what had she done!!!

Deirdre muttered to herself and stared at the ground blankly.

Payne was shocked by everything that he was hearing! And when he saw that Deirdre’s expression was not normal he asked, “Mum, are you alright?”

“Mum? Mum?”

Payne looked at Deirdre with a strange expression and was about to go over and touch her.

Suddenly!

The woman with the deathly pale face suddenly raised her head and stared fiercely at Jafar, “I don’t believe it! You are lying to me! I gave birth to a girl, and before I got off the delivery table I saw with my own eyes that there was no mole on the right foot of my daughter!” She was still in denial and was sure that everything she was hearing was false.

“I don’t believe it!”

If everything was true then… no! It was not true! There is no way it was true!

There was no mark on the arch of her daughter’s right foot.

“I saw with my own eyes! So you are saying that Clark is not able to mistake his own granddaughter however her real mother is able to mistake who her real daughter is?!”

This was not possible!

It was just not able to be true!

Impossible!

Deirdre usually was a very gentle woman, and when she was in front of Jafar she was always very pleasant and kind with him. Although she was older than him she never loathed him or grew tired of him.

However at this moment her face bore a hideous expression which even startled Jafar slightly. He then frowned and within his eyes revealed a trace of annoyance, demonstrating he was getting fed up with this.
